New research sheds light on the biomolecular dangers of night shift work.

Vigorous exercise burns fat more in males than in females, but the benefits of exercise are broad for both sexes.

Tennessee State University received Department of Energy funding to establish an academy focused on preparing students and professionals to work in an emerging field: clean energy systems. PNNL is helping with that effort and others.

Data reveals mechanisms in our bodies that can help us fight viral pathogenesis.

Researchers at PNNL devised a new workflow for integrating life cycle analysis into building design, aided by a computational method that adapts existing software to net-zero energy, carbon-negative homes.

GUV can reduce transmission of airborne disease while reducing energy use and carbon emissions. But fulfilling that promise depends on having accurate and verifiable performance data.

Researchers from PNNL have been assessing installation and use of electric heat pumps in an Alaskan community that relies on fuel oil for heat. The resulting information could advance electrification in cold rural areas across the nation.

The Health Physics Society has selected Jonathan Napier, a PNNL environmental health physicist, to serve as a delegate to the International Radiation Protection Association’s General Assembly.

Scientists have learned more about how to protect the insulin-producing cells that die in patients with Type 1 diabetes.

Samantha Erwin, a PNNL data scientist, was recently appointed to the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Membership Committee.

PNNL helps deliver efficiency-related rules and requirements that steadily improve performance of America’s buildings, saving energy and costs and reducing carbon emissions.

PNNL researchers helped identify a fragment from the SARS-CoV-2 virus that spurs severe illness.

Pacific Northwest may face increase in summer heat-dome-like stationary waves.

Scientists have learned more about how drug resistance develops in patients with acute myeloid leukemia and how the process might be slowed.

Study finds regional priorities shape people’s interest in improving the energy efficiency of their homes.

Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.

From air-sealing windows and checking for leaky ducts to insulating the attic, PNNL researchers offer tips on how to keep a home warm in winter weather.

PNNL scientists took thousands of measurements of firefighters in training to learn more about how the body responds to vigorous exercise.

A larger HVAC workforce with training on modern heat pump technology will be pivotal to achieving the mass-scale electrification of household HVAC systems needed to meet building decarbonization goals.

Leaders from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy visited PNNL October 19–20 for a firsthand look at capabilities and research progress.
